Henry Rollins trades in his airline miles for a tour bus with the launch of his FREQUENT FLYER TOUR. Henry’s latest talking tour kicked off on January 12 in Dublin, with the 45-date first North American leg departing from San Diego on February 17. Following stops in Australia and South Africa, Henry returns for a second North American leg in mid-May.

As he did for last year’s Recountdown tour, Shepard Fairey designed the promotional posters for the FREQUENT FLYER TOUR.

"Since I was last on tour, I have been working in television and radio, traveling all over the world,” says HENRY. “And like everyone else, dealing with the changes America – and the world – is going through. I thought America would become a more peaceful place in 2009. I had no idea the country had so many lunatics. There's a lot to remark upon, of course. There always is."

When HENRY talks about traveling the world, he’s not referring to plush resorts and genteel European cities. HENRY’s current and most recent travels include stops in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, China, and Senegal. These global experiences – like past excursions to such vacation hotspots as Pakistan, Myanmar, and Siberia – not only supply humorous anecdotes for HENRY’s talking shows, but they inform his worldview. As Fairey’s tour poster bills it, “Knowledge without mileage equals bullsh*t.”

Amidst his extensive globetrotting, HENRY the actor, author, and radio host remains as busy as ever. HENRY recently concluded an extended guest run as rival thug A.J. Weston on the FX biker drama Sons of Anarchy. He continues to do his weekly radio show on L.A.’s revered NPR affiliate KCRW.

Henry’s latest book, A Mad Dash, is now available at www.henryrollins.com, through his own 2.13.61 imprint. Picking up where 2007’s A Preferred Blur left off, A Mad Dash is a frenetic travelogue spanning over one hundred live performances and the filming of five documentaries on five continents. Henry has also been tracking his travels – and sharing his thoughts on politics and the state of the world – on his “Straight Talk Espresso” blog at VanityFair.com.
